Many thanks to everyone who wished me a speedy recovery.
While I’m getting over Covid I didn’t have enough oomph to do a new comic for Memorial Day. (Coming up with a meaningful image and text for the holiday is by far my toughest assignment every year. Frankly, I’m not up to it at the moment)
The best I could do is run this reprint gag which has a military theme–sort of.
To see the original 1959 art and text, click on the “LIFE WITH LIP” button on this page. Once you’re on the blog, just click the “comments” link below today’s comic.
Reminds me of when Ed McMahon came back to work after his honeymoon. Johnny said “Ed got a surprise when she came out in her negligee and had a tattoo inside her thigh that said ‘Welcome home USS Saratoga’!”

If she meets a sailor who’s been on a submarine the last 6 months, he might show her what “Up periscope” can mean.

There is good money to be made during Fleet Week, that’s why she signed up to be a part time longshoreman.

The Fleet Enemas? She must be really backed up!
